1/4 Kirby Kite

Post by Stephen Portelli »

I promised Cliff, that I would jumble some words and photos together regarding my Kite so here it is.
I recently acquired an incomplete and slightly damaged Lanyu 1/4 scale Kirby Kite. The basics were there but I had to make new struts to replace the missing ones, along with a "mostly scaleish: nose skid - not perfect but better than nothing.

Rest assured the horrible non-scale covering was also high on the list to be replaced with acetate silk!

BTW - if anyone reading this post has a copy of the original instructions a pdf copy of them would be appreciated .
Wing and tail surfaces were stripped nd recovered. Still needs paint at this stage. and spoilers fabricated test fitted on the wings.
Started the CAD (cardboard-aided design) process for the cockpit, which was missing.



Some photos are hopefully attached.
Cheers
